Hello all,
Requesting advice/opinions about providing my 22 year old daughter with her first home defense weapon. She's a full-time university student living in a big city and up to now had room mates. The room mates have moved out and she's now living alone and asking if she can take a pistol home for self defense.
She's been shooting since she was small and is trained in gun safety, and has a concealed weapons permit in the great state of Oklahoma (Go Pokes!). I use 1911(ish) weapons for all purposes but I'm not sure this is the best weapon for a 22 year old girl to use if something goes bump in the night.
My question: Should I arm my kid with a pistol or with additional training should I arm the kid with a shotgun for home defense (small apartment)? She has 12GA skeet shooting experience but that's not enough.
I value the opinions here and thank you in advance for your time. If I posted this in the wrong place, please let me know.
